Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 09, 2024

Can they still spring her if it’s summer?

A Whisper to a Scream? Now I’ve got “Birds Fly”, by the Icicle Works stuck in my head.

Never pass up an opportunity to be dramatic! “Whisper a scream!”

July 9, 2024. Sophie and Gutter first meet. Can we define this as a “meet cute”?

Awww… Panel 3 is so cute!

Don’t worry, Sophie. That woman hasn’t noticed anything else you’ve done or expressed. Scream away. (And a most reasonable response this is, too!)

I can see panel 3 on a future Valentine’s Day Card entitled, “The Moment We Met”.

Save Li’l Starfish Squeaker!

Exciting! Freedom is at hand.

Definitely a “meet cute”.

I’m wondering now if Sophie squeaks Lil Starfish or if Lil Starfish has something to say on its own. They’re definitely connected!

Sophie, I’m disappointed in you. “Really quickly”, please.

Forgets that steenky aliens food. After rescue you is can goes to James Blackwood’s Diner for raccoons. It a real place just see on YouTube.

You can haves all the i-scream you is wants later cat. This no time to eats it now.

OMC, Sophie’s little whisper scream face is so cute!♥

I’m curious… doesn’t the woman know that a healthy, good looking cat would belong to someone? Why wouldn’t she be looking for the owner? Or checking to see if the cat is chipped?

Cue up 1984 hit by Icicle Works: “Birds Fly”/“Whisper to a Scream”.

Sophie’s reminding me of Fluttershy, from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Impressive whisper-screaming!

Hurry up, before the, Tidy Bowl Man, Oops! I mean, Tidy Man, comes back!

Go, Gutter! Should he wait or should she go?

BoCH.

That sounds more like she’s screamin’ Figaro

Sophie!

He is your daring knight in shining armor, come to rescue you and take you home! (Insert Dramatic yet excited whisper scream!) :-))

It is your very own romantic fairy tale rescue story come true, Sophie! <3 <3 <3

xoxo

What light through yonder window breaks?

Love that first panel where you can see Gutter’s hubcap shield shining— like an envious moon who is already sick with grief—against a beautiful Georgia Dunn night sky.

This has been easy…too easy. Excuse me, I’ll be waiting over here for the other shoe to drop.

Andrew Lloyd Webber: Whistle Down the Wind

Whisper a soft scream

Let your voice carry

Drown out fireworks

See through all the darkness

Through this adventure scary!

…….

Meow at the screen

Hold your starfish squeaky

Rescue is at hand

Fear not your new friend

With the plan so sneaky!

…….

Meow clear and strong!

To last the whole night long!

A clear signal they did send

Your ordeal will soon end!

We did not abandon you,

Our precious friend!

…….

So give your star a squeeze,

Smile in the darkness

No strangers are there here,

It may still seem unclear,

But a new friend has arrived, yes!

Rescue is at hand,

There is a clever plan right here!

So whisper a soft scream,

All your friends, it seems

Are there!

I’m still loving this color palette. Whisper screaming does seem like a Sophie thing.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Royal Palace

Puckmosis: Glad to see you’re all back! Did you find anything about your descendant, Soph?

Sophititi: Yes. It appears that year Fourth of July and Independence Day fell on the same day. There were fireworks that Sophie’s friends took advantage of to carry out their rescue plan.

Puck: So how did they fare?

Soph: They felt it was unfair, but they made a plan that did fairly well.

Puck: So this whole affair fared well.

Beatrixia: I heard Thomios was making Chowder for a Clowder. Is there any left?

Puck: Yes. We saved some for you. If you want to freshen up first, Barbara’s Shop is still open.

Bea: Yes, I think I’ll do that. Is Lupinium getting his tomato treatment?

Puck: Yes. It’s time for Vacation Scroll School, and you know how the kittens all love him to do his Pink thing.

Gutter got in! Sophie’s whisper-scream is quite appropriate to the situation.

Oh, this is so funny and romantic that it puts the story of The Owl and the Pu$$y Cat to shame. Someday somewhere someone will pen a poem dedicated to How The Trash Panda Rescues Miss Kitty.

A whisper or a scream, doesn’t change a thing….

Two thirds of my screen is taken up with side ads flashing and moving. Sometimes I also get ads across the top and the bottom, so I am left wondering what the comic shows and what the comments are. Is there any way to solve this problem?

Oh pleaae kitte- make rescue easy!!

I feel the phrase, “I’m going to just whisper a scream real quick,” will come in very handy quite often.

OT Medical, and more medical …

I’m sorry, Georgia, I don’t want any more twists and turns. I want our Sophie out of that place, preferably yesterday!

Um if she is whispering a scream, as a cat it would actually be louder than you’d think. It’s like “Ack”.

Except longer.

What is happening?

Li’l Starfish Squeaker is absolutely coming home with her.

On rereading this, I’m thinking Sophie is questioning where the “whoever” in the window went. For some reason I initially thought she was referring to the people when she said where’d they go and I wondered why she would wonder that as whoever it is said they were going to get her food. But then after looking at it again, it dawned on me she was talking about the friend in the window. Sometimes it takes me more than one (or 10) reading to get it. (DUH!)

I really like the night vision goggles effect here. I’m also pleased to see the raccoon advance guard.

OT: Late-Breaking Broken H00min News Update!

I’m sure those old buffoons will not hear Sophie.

I like that the Starfish Squeaker is starting to show a little personality. And Sophie holding onto her new toy for comfort is beyond endearing!

Who is getting the supper???

Haha, Nice One!

HAHA, the quiet screaming was really funny!

OT – Cain

I honestly understand her fear. I mean Gutter was right on the other side of the window scratching it and now he is right next to the show cage.

Please everyone who has ad blockers read Georgia’s comment under Abigail C’s comment above. Very pertinent to that discussion.

OT: Beryl is here!

About 15 minutes ago they issued a tornado warning for my county. The area of rotation was 5 miles away. Fortunately, it has stopped rotating and the warning was dropped. Unfortunately, there are more storms headed this way and we’re under a tornado watch until 3:00 AM.

Ha! This is amazing!

Haha! Such a classic!

Don’t scream, Sophie – you’ve finally got a friend ready to help.
